Secretion of hirudin derivatives
A process for obtaining hirudin derivatives from E. coli secretor mutants which entails:(1) construction of a recombinant vector on which there is located the gene coding for a hirudin derivative directly downstream of a DNA section which codes for a bacterial signal peptide;(2) transformation of an E. coli secretor mutant with the recombinant vector constructed in step (1);(3) cultivation of the transformed cells in a medium; and(4) obtaining the hirudin derivative from the medium; anda recombinant vector which contains one or more copies of a gene construct which codes for a protein consisting of a bacterial signal peptide and of a hirudin derivative, and a hirudin derivative with the N-terminal amino-acid sequence A-(SEQ ID NO: 5) in which A represents Ala, Gln, His, Phe, Tyr, Glu, Ser, Asp or Asn.
